Still here

Delicate acoustic guitar fingerpicking in G lays the foundation, joined by expressive male vocals, A strong arco double bass adds depth, while the cello weaves resonant, somber lines, The overall arrangement remains raw and minimal throughout, preserving an intimate, close-mic’d feel

[Chorus 1] [urgent, wild]
I was fire, I was flight
Too alive to sleep at night
Every road, a dare to bleed
Every kiss, a hungry need
But I never knew the cost
Till I traded wild for something lost

[Verse 2] [heavy, resigned]
You asked for roots, I dug in deep
Built our life while biting sleep
Held up our dreams with weathered hands
You called it all part of the plans
I kept the pace all while I broke
Hoping effort meant I spoke
But without witness, without cheer
Even heroes disappear

[Chorus 2] [numb, tired]
I was fire turned to flame
Burning steady, playing tame
Built a life too big to flee
Held the weight too silently
Still I smiled, still I stayed
Love held back, still hung afraid

[Verse 3] [fragile, unraveling]
Cracks don’t roar—they whisper slow
In corners where the light won’t go
You fell apart, I held the frame
Still took the hit, still wore the blame
Loved you harder every day
But still you slipped further away

[Bridge] [raw, exposed]
Was I too much, or just too true?
Was I wrong to bare this self to you?
I dimmed my light to match your shade
Still you winced at what I gave
I held when I was breaking too
Trying to drag something refusing to move
And now I face what I can't undo
But still I stand, and still I move

[Verse 4] [resolute]
Now I stand in fire I used to dread
And found it lit a path instead
The walls gave out, the flood came through
But all I lost revealed what’s true
Not ruined—rising, undefined
And every scar was by design

[Final Chorus] [full, steady]
I am fire, I am stone
Built from silence, scars, and bone
Not a saint, and not a flaw
Just the sum of all I saw
Still a little rough, by design
But every jagged edge is mine
Not ruined—rising, undefined
No part of me is out of line

[Instrumental Outro]

[Verse 1] [sharp, restless] Fast nights, sharp turns Too big for my skin Dreams like fists Always swinging to win I wore hunger like a crown Burned so hot I nearly drowned Thought love meant sparks and gasoline Not quiet hands and in-between [Chorus 1] [urgent, wild] I was fire, I was flight Too alive to sleep at night Every road, a dare to bleed Every kiss, a hungry need But I never knew the cost Till I traded wild for something lost [Verse 2] [heavy, resigned] You asked for roots, I dug in deep Built our life while biting sleep Held up our dreams with weathered hands You called it all part of the plans I kept the pace all while I broke Hoping effort meant I spoke But without witness, without cheer Even heroes disappear [Chorus 2] [numb, tired] I was fire turned to flame Burning steady, playing tame Built a life too big to flee Held the weight too silently Still I smiled, still I stayed Love held back, still hung afraid [Verse 3] [fragile, unraveling] Cracks don’t roar—they whisper slow In corners where the light won’t go You fell apart, I held the frame Still took the hit, still wore the blame Loved you harder every day But still you slipped further away [Bridge] [raw, exposed] Was I too much, or just too true? Was I wrong to bare this self to you? I dimmed my light to match your shade Still you winced at what I gave I held when I was breaking too Trying to drag something refusing to move And now I face what I can't undo But still I stand, and still I move [Verse 4] [resolute] Now I stand in fire I used to dread And found it lit a path instead The walls gave out, the flood came through But all I lost revealed what’s true Not ruined—rising, undefined And every scar was by design [Final Chorus] [full, steady] I am fire, I am stone Built from silence, scars, and bone Not a saint, and not a flaw Just the sum of all I saw Still a little rough, by design But every jagged edge is mine Not ruined—rising, undefined No part of me is out of line [Instrumental Outro]
